What I really didn’t like though was the budget terminal. My friend CH warned me about the state of the terminal the day before I left. In his exact words, “wah good luck, you will understand why it’s called budget terminal when you see it.”

Thanks to him, I was prepared for the worst. Images of decaying walls and a dilapidated visage with cockroaches scampering across the floors flooded my mind.

To be honest, the condition of the terminal was quite tolerable by my standards, but what really irked me was the lame tagline, “Budget Terminal. Enjoy the difference.” Check it out in the picture below:

Like hello?? Are you trying to suan me?! This has got to be sarcasm at its best.

After checking into Metropark Hotel, we spent the rest of the day exploring the place by foot. Got lost in one of the underground carparks which had so many exits that we were nearly trapped.

One of the famous casino hotels, Wynn.

This was also where we took some of our casual shots at night.

The air-con in the Singing Bean cafe was too hard for us to resist. Surprisingly, the cafe served really tasty creme brulee too.

Apparently, the coffee beans from this cafe are “nourished with Mozart music to foster their unique flavours”. How bizzare….I have only heard of pregnant ladies listening to Mozart music to enhance their babies’ brain development. Er.. coffee beans have brains too?
Day 2: Hong Kong

Took a ferry to Hong Kong for some dim sum at Sweet Dynasty (very good I must say!!) and shopping. Actually, it was a 6-hour long shopping marathon, with me ending up with 1 big bag of goodies from Sasa and 3 humongous bags of clothes from H&M. Enough said.

Day 3 & 4: Photoshoot in Macau

Well, you’ve already seen some of the fab photos 🙂 Here’re some shots of an old style cafe where we took our casual photos.

Day 5: Macau – Last day
Spent the last few hours at the Venetian. The decor reeked of opulence, so much so that I thought it was rather contrived. That however, did not stop me from taking photos. 😛

No makeup except for eyeliner and mascara. 😉 Had enough of makeup during the 2 days of shooting.

I really enjoyed the trip, thanks to JW for his amusing antics and great company, as well as to our fabulous photographer and make-up artist. They were the ones who made this trip special. 😉

So amazing right, especially for someone like me who shuns the sun like a vampire. Here’s a sneak preview of some of the shots taken.

Most of the following pictures were taken in a village in the outskirts of Macau, where the most delectable portuguese egg tarts are found. In case you are wondering, the Lord Stow’s Bakery here has some of the best portuguese egg tarts.

Anyway, back to the photos..I’ve never seen myself looking this moody in photos before, but I must say this look is growing on me.

Oh, did I also mention that my hair might frighten the faint-hearted? So drama..haha but I asked for it. I’m always game for a makeover. 😉

海闊天空 – Beyond

My favourite female singers 孙燕姿 and 张惠妹:

我不难过- 孙燕姿

记得 – 张惠妹

1) Cascading curls

I’m particularly bowled over by the colours and the vintage feel of this picture. It has a certain dreamy old-world charm that just makes it so surreal.

Shades, a must-have for sunny days and days when you have sore eyes haha.

Thank goodness for my recent pay adjustment. I desperately need to save up for our new home. For the time being, I guess I should also shelve my plans to perm my hair.

In addition, I am praying hard that I don’t shop during my upcoming work trip to Japan in late August and my prewedding shoot in Macau/HK this September. Friends, please keep me in your prayers ya????

Suspended in mid-air against the backdrop of the National Museum, the dancers performed ballet moves and acrobatic stunts to beautiful classical melodies. It was certainly a refreshing change from the usual dance performances.

I love the use of black in interior design. It spells understated elegance. That jolly well explains why we are using quite a lot of black in our new home as well. I can only pray that my parents don’t flip when they see the end result. 😉
